Mysterious Disappearance of a
WaterviIIe Young Lady.
Is it Murder, Suicide or an EIope-

Many Searching Parties Securing
the Woods In all Directions.

lePoNi"i w tno IICoo.l
sWATERvILLE, May 24,-Maud Mason,
young and pretty girl, of this town, has been
missing since last evening. She lived with
her father and mother about two miles be-
low the village on the river road. She was
seen by several people riding horse back
about o'clock last evening, and was last
seen about $50 o'clock on horseback in con-
versation with young man. Becoming
alarmed at her prolonged absence, about IL
o'clock her brother started in search of her.
He rode all through the village calling at
every place at which she was known to stop,
and not finding her, calling up the neighbors
started with lantern to scour the roads
around. Early this morning the neighbors
found hOof prints of horse in the road
about Nelson's stock farm quarter of q
mile west of Waterville. They were easily
traced, the horse wearing no shoes, and were
found to lead about mile to the boat house
bridge on the Messalouskee. Arriving there
the searchers heard the Whitney of horse,
and ON shouting the girls name they report
they heard a crashing in the bushes. On in
vestigation they found Maud's horse hitched
to tree near the stream. This was about
2.3O o'clock Driving hastily into town they
notified the authorities and the fire alarm
was sounded calling forth large numbers of
citizens. ,who with lanterns, secured the
woods around where the horse was found,
discovering nothing however. At daylight
this morning party found well defined foot
prints of mans and woman's boots evil
IDENTIFY walking together by the side of the
horse all the way from Nelson's farm to
where the horse was found. George Blair,
young married man, about % years old, host
Ter at Nelson's, is found to be also missing
He has lately separated from his wife, and
has been seen several times with Maud.
Parties have just been found claiming to
have seen them together at II o'clock last
evening. Foul play is feared and the utmost
excitement is felt throughout the town. Par
ties have been searching all day, and if she
is not found by morning the Messalouskee
stream will be dragged. Theories of an
elopement are advanced, but are not prob
able. A ladies' footprints have been found
this afternoon leading northward from where
the horse was found extending to the edge of
the stream where they are lost. The young
lady's parents are very respectable, and are
nearly crazy with grief. 1t is anxiously
hoped to get something tonight to relieve
their intense anxiety in which everybody
joins. Many think the couple would have
returned home had they not heard the alarm
and surmised its cause, and that they are
still in the vicinity Suspicious of foul play,
or suicide seem to be gaining ground.

SIR CHARLES TUPPER.
What He Thinks of the Non-intcr-

New YORK, May 24-Sir Charles Tupper,
Canadian minister of finance, at present Wis
iting this city, says that he never expects to
see the hour when the policy of non-inter-
course is adopted. Every true-born Cana
dian would deplore the adoption, Of such a
event would rebound to their own material
benefit. The through traffic of Canada,
which is building up New York, Boston and
Portland, would then reach Canada through
exclusively Canadian channels. and would
build up Montreal, Quebec and the maritime
cities with incredible rapidity. Sir Charles
thinks that anxious as the Imperial govern
ment appears to be to avoid giving offence to
the United States, it is. ready to back up
Canada's claims, whatever they may be.
